Pros

Excellent work life balance, ability to telecommute when necessary. Flexible hours. Never ab issue to take off as needed for different personal items.

Cons

Difficult for internal promotions. Certain level of who you know, not what you know. Can be limited in external learning opportunities, they talk a good game but hold back on the exceution. Upper management seems to be more focused on the bottom line.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
